A friend was in the office the other day saying how he liked my stories about fishing on Clear Creek. He went on to say that he had fished, as a boy on Beaver Creek and Sandy Creek and how it was about the same. Traditionally this time in May was the opening of fishing season on streams. Not true today. Bear Paw streams are, for the most part, open all year long making for not much fun these days like it was in the old days when there was an opening day. I cannot say what the kind of fishing I did was called as it would be a racist remark these...

In the foyer of the church, at the registration table, I ran into Bill Lanier. Blai...
